Cooley Expands in DC with Dow Lohnes

The merger of Cooley LLP and Dow Lohnes announced on October 15, 2013, became official on January 1, 2014, and today Cooley launches a video in recognition of that event.

The New Year's move to Cooley's DC offices at 1299 Pennsylvania Avenue, by more than fifty attorneys and dozens of support staff and other professionals from Dow Lohnes, marks the latest stage of growth for Cooley in the nation's capital. To recognize this collaboration of technology, innovation and regulatory experience, Joe Conroy, Cooley's chief executive officer, and Cooley partner John Byrnes, formerly managing partner of Dow Lohnes, sat down to explain the reasons for the merger in a video interview.

"This is a transformative event for Cooley that materially broadens and deepens the experience and expertise we can now offer our clients," said Joe Conroy. "We wanted to share with our clients and communities our rationale behind this strategic combination."
